Percutaneous Closure of a Poorly Tolerated Ventricular Septal Defect After Triple Valvular Prosthesis Surgery

J Invasive Cardiol. 2019 Jun;31(6):E154.

Abstract

We describe the case of an 81-year-old woman with three biological prostheses at the aortic valve, mitral valve, and tricuspid valve with recurrent hospitalizations due to heart failure. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first percutaneous closure of ventricular septal defect in the presence of three valvular prostheses.

Keywords: angiography; transcatheter aortic valve implantation; transesophageal echocardiogram.
